Here is my original code listed below.
if(ereg($pattern,strtolower($this->get_domain())) && !ereg("^-|-$",strtolower($this->get_domain())) && !preg_match("/--/",strtolower($this->get_domain()))){
This is the error
Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in
Then I replaced the ereg with preg_match below. I receive this error
if(preg_match($pattern,strtolower($this->get_domain())) && !preg_match("^-|-$",strtolower($this->get_domain())) && !preg_match("/--/",strtolower($this->get_domain()))){
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '^' found in
I tried to to put / before the ^ and after the $ but still no luck. May I get some assistance from someone who might know how to fix this error.
Add delimiters to your regexes:
$pattern = "/^[a-z".$idn."0-9\-]{3,}$/";// same for "/^[a-z0-9\-]{3,}$/"
// here __^ and here __^
if(preg_match($pattern, strtolower($this->get_domain())) &&
!preg_match("/^-|-$/",strtolower($this->get_domain())) &&
// __^ __^
!preg_match("/--/", strtolower($this->get_domain()))){
